Back pain is a type of physical discomfort that can be mild to incapacitating and can happen anywhere along the spine or back. The causes can range from minor ligament strains to severe arthritis or disc rupture.
Nonsurgical treatments, such as medications and physical therapy, are frequently the first-line options. However, if neurological deficits such as numbness and/or weakness, as well as associated pain, continue to worsen despite nonsurgical treatment for several weeks, surgery may be an option.
Minimally invasive procedures, such as lumbar artificial disc replacement, facetectomy, foraminotomy, microdiscectomy, laminectomy, and fusion surgery, are commonly used in lumbar spine surgeries, and surgeons may perform multiple procedures at the same time. However, as with any surgery, there is the possibility of complications such as infection, nerve damage, excessive bleeding, or life-threatening allergic reactions.
